To be enslaved is comforting. In its punishment, there are rules which allow a cruel society to function. I guess the important part is is that it functions, the alternative being death. I can pledge a false allegiance and do my part as a citizen to be part of a larger machine which manufactures items of need. I can follow signs and pay what ever taxes. I will labor on their time schedule. The law will not incarcerate me outright and while I compete with my neighbor for food and judge our worth by hording and exploitation of tightly held secrets, I can win. I can even become a master, then have an opportunity to now look down on the majority or pity them as I still bask in luxury. Being a slave is not so bad if you truly buy into the system, it can absolutely pay out with absolutely no personal cost to yourself except your soul. This is the way the system was designed, to champion the most evil. Can't fight it when you've been born inside the prison, so becoming the best monster is what is required. Life decisions have been removed and it is stress free to know my evil was not my choice. Being a drone whom follows the rules, I sleep well. It's funny that one could become accustomed to living in hell and aspiring to become THE devil himself.
